Letter - Additional Parking

Dear Editor,

I am against the idea of converting the land bank along Jalan 17 /1 into a car park. I would like to point out that I bought that particular unit facing the greens because it is lovely to look at. The trees not only add serenity to my unit, but it keeps it cool because of their shade.

My current tenant mentioned to me too that they liked the unit because it was so pleasant to look out and see the foliage of the trees outside.

I disagree with the article in Tiara Times which stated that with the creation of the parking lot there, "The security of the units fronting it will be improved, as there will be guards manning the parking lot and the entrance into Tiara."

As far as I can see, it is better to have only one opening for cars entering and exiting. Currently we have two openings, and there have been several break-ins at Tiara, so what more with three openings. We must not kid ourselves that the guards will be awake all night to keep watch. They are only human, and there have been several reported cases of guards dozing off in the wee hours of the morning. So please don't assume that new opening will be constantly manned by guards, and hence there will be security.

I think the email by Concerned proposing that we should get MPPJ 's approval to widen Jalan 17/1 and create legitimate parking bays is an excellent one.
